When you're young, it seems like there's always enough time for romance. Then come careers and houses and kids and you can find yourself trying to remember what your partner looks like, let alone finding some intimate time together. Have you tried putting it on your schedule?

For some, it may seem like a mood-killer to schedule something that feels like it ought to be more spontaneous. The truth is, sometimes it's the only way to make it happen and it turns out scheduling romance can actually be kind of fun. There's something about the anticipation of that known time together that lets the desire build over time into something pretty powerful.

Psychology Today even suggests that you might try something called the Bic Cure:

The Bic Cure is writing in ink (uneraseable) on your calendar a weekly date night or afternoon, and a monthly romantic getaway of at least one day. Nowadays, many people have stopped using paper calendars and use their technological devices to schedule important appointments. Both methods work if we use them.
